I recently graduated and want to work in finance but I don’t know anyone that has experience in the field. So I don’t know anyone I could ask.

Helping You Master Finance Interviews with Clarity, Confidence & Real-World Insight
The best advice I ever received was: "Don't chase the highest salary. Chase the biggest learning opportunity."
At the beginning of your career, the skills, mentors, and network you build are worth much more than a slightly bigger paycheck.
Since you don't know anyone in finance yet, start building your network now. Reach out to people on LinkedIn, ask thoughtful questions, and stay curious. You'd be surprised how many professionals are happy to help. :)
